[Misc] Thunderstorms kicking off.....................

[Arthur]

Here in the one wetter TN6 it hissed down for around 45' from around 0700 but has now settled down to a rather pathetic drizzle.

We had thunder and lightning before the rain came for a good 30 minutes. It was very bizarre thunder and lightning some of which seemed very close but no rain. Until as you say the heavens absolutely opened.

My sensible dog hates thunder and was pacing about which made the very unsensible puppy chase her around. The latter later decided to chase something (a squirrel I expect) into the stream at Walshes Park which after that downpour was running very fast. Had visions of me having to go in after him when I heard the splash luckily he was able to get out.

You are lucky to have one sensible dog, I have 2 complete idiots

Decent Lighting as well, one right above us caused a brief power outage...

Decent Lighting as well,

Seems a waste with energy costs so high at the moment.

I believe that there was a lake there many years ago - nature taking it back to how it was.

Yes, supposedly this was the site in 1930

Lewes road probably the loudest thunder blast I've ever heard!
Someone got tickets to sit in the open comedy garden at Preston Park today..

 

[Gwylan]

The thunderclap was loud, I don't think I've ever seen the dog move so quickly. She was under our bed within seconds

Just about to put the washing out on the line to dry.

Mine dried in about two hours today.

Thunder is forecast later this afternoon (possibly). ️️️

Mega thunderstorm last night in SW France. Very strong winds, forked lightning and thunderclaps overhead followed by a power cut. Beautiful today though

My dog annoyed the hell out of me barking at both lighting and the thunder for two hours last night! We did make an exception and let her sleep in our bed though
